A central California jail was examining security measures after an ex-convict shot and wounded two unarmed officers in the lobby, but officials said Sunday that they did not plan any immediate changes.

After reviewing Saturday’s shooting that left correctional Officers Juanita Davila and Toamalama Scanlan in critical condition, authorities will decide whether to alter procedures in the public area of the Fresno County jail, sheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti said. […]

Thong Vang, 37, is accused of shooting the officers in the head and neck areas during a struggle and has been booked into jail on suspicion of attempted murder, possessing a handgun as a felon and bringing drugs into a jail. […]

Vang was released from prison in 2014 after serving 16 years for raping three girls aged 14 and under, Sheriff Margaret Mims said. He had no criminal violations since his release. …

The problem was in having two women, weaker in upper arm strength than men, guarding a potentially dangerous criminal. PC can kill you.

The other problem is that Vang is still breathing.
Why the heck didn’t they erase him immediately?

Exactly-—but it is part of the radical egalitarianism to make males and females interchangeable to destroy all differences for the marxist utopian “paradise” with death of individuality and identity and words like husband and wife and mother and father for the “collective”.

People have to be made totally insane—unable to use Reason/Logic and so they believe the most insane thing their masters “say”, like Evil is Virtue, Boys are Girls and Slavery is Freedom.

(They WANT the results and chaos that women doing male jobs will achieve-—it is their plan—to pit males and females into competition instead of into rational roles and being complimentary to destroy natural instincts and the Natural Family so children will be raised by the State (and indoctrinated into socialism/collective worldview)
